Dinesh Karthik is having a dream IPL 2022 both on and off the field. The Royal Challengers Bangalore wicketkeeper-batter, who has made a strong case for making a comeback to the Indian side on the back of some stunning performances in this IPL, showed his lighter side on Friday. Karthik gave a savage reply to former New Zealand pacer Simon Doull, who is working as a broadcaster in the cash-rich tournament. Karthik said he is just following what Doull ‘taught’ him during his commentary stint last year when asked about his preparations.
Simon Doull: “Your strike rate this season has been unbelievable. Are you practising any different? How are you setting yourself up for these end of the innings role?”
Dinesh Karthik: “These are all the things that you’ve taught me in the commentary box last year. It’s just coming around.
Simon Doull: “Come on. What are you doing to train?”
Dinesh Karthik: “So basically, before the season me and my coach worked out that we needed to do something different because we were probably getting a bit predictable so we thought of doing things differently.”
